Yeah OK thanks. I was just toying with the idea of saddlebags on my bike but looks like too much trouble. I already have a swingarm bag on one side – that would have to come off – and don't really want brackets coming off of my seat to mount saddlebags.  I'll just stick with the current configuration which is a tail bag and swingarm bag.

Thanks for the reply and the pics. I was thinking those mounts on eBay bolt on to the lower fender/tail light mounts going up – but maybe that's wrong.

Yeah, you're wrong...
I think those loops fit just the Kawa Vulcan Classic's and not the Drifter's: before I got the OEM loops (BTW, many thanx to Troll that sold me his spare ones...), I came across a pair like those on ebay and found out that they've got a different hole spacing.

I did not, but they sure need the brackets that attach to the seat, even though they look quite different from the OEM ones.
Take a look here: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/oemsbsetup.html
Just my 2 cents...

Has anyone tried these mounts?  If so, where do they bolt on?  thanks.
